Subject: CList in Ruby-Gnome2?


Hello,

Does Gnome2 no longer have CList?
What's the easiest way to get a list widget in Gnome2?  The simplest I've 
managed to write uses TreeView:

---------------- tree.rb -------------
#
# Create the TreeStore and TreeView.
#
tree      = Gtk::TreeStore.new( String )
render    = Gtk::CellRendererText.new
column    = Gtk::TreeViewColumn.new( "Contacts", render, {:text => 0} )
tree_view = Gtk::TreeView.new( tree )
tree_view.append_column( column )  
window.add( tree_view )

#
#  Build tree.
#
jeffrey = tree.append(nil).set_value( 0, "Jeffrey" )
melissa = tree.append(nil).set_value( 0, "Melissa" )
sandy   = tree.append(nil).set_value( 0, "Sandy"   )
--------------------------------------

Is this the simplest it gets?  Because it's not very simple.  I'd like to 
see a list-type widget which could be used somwhat like this:

list = Gtk::CList
window.add(list)

jeffrey = list.append( "Jeffrey" )
melissa = list.append( "Melissa" )
sandy   = list.append( "Sandy"   )

That would be a lot nicer.  Is there any such widget?  I can't find any in 
the documentation, but I can't believe that Gtk+2 doesn't have a list 
widget.

Any help would be appreciated.
